| Long abstract | In Chapter Five, Fanny Gerbeaud, Aline Barlet and Caroline Mazel examine the modern neighbourhoods of Mériadeck and Pontet-Lamartine in Bordeaux, France, focusing on local communities’ commitment to the physical and moral rehabilitation of these suburban areas. Architectural, environmental and social surveys demonstrate inhabitants’ involvement in preserving their residential heritage and their efforts to create sustainable urban heritage by adapting their practices and perceptions. |
